Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 We first think of the traditional or nuclear fami
9、ly. This is a two-generation family, the father and the mother and their own children. Most couples wanted to have four children, two boys, two girls.Some nuclear families, however, may add one or more grandparents to come m live with them, that is three generations. This kind of family with grandpa
10、rents, parents, and grandchildren is called an extended family. This family type was not very common during the later half of the twentieth century, but its becoming more common now as an elderly grandparent moves in to live with a son or daughter. This is more possible now that American homes have
11、become larger. What is interesting, however, is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own families, this extended family shrinks back to a nuclear family, with just two generations again living together, a grandparent and parents, with the grandchildren coming only for oc
12、casional visits.Now, the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family. In the fatherless family its just the mother and her children. As I said, this can be the result of the husbands death, of an unmarried mother, of a separation or divorce. There are also a gr
13、owing number of motherless families-where the father raises the children, for any of the same reasons. A motherless family may also be fatherless, but still a family with one adult. This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughters children while the daughte
14、r goes elsewhere to work.One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common. A single parent with one or more children will marry again. Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent. Together they will start what is called a blended family, which blends together or combines the ch
15、ildren from two other families. 21 Who usually looks after the children in a both motherless and fatherless family in America?（A）The childrens aunt.（B） The childrens nursery or school.（C） The childrens grandmother.（D）The childrens neighbour. 22 How is a blended family formed?（A）A blended family is f
16、ormed by two single-parent families.（B） A blended family is formed by a nuclear family and a grandparent.（C） A blended family is formed by a nuclear family and grandparents.（D）A blended family is formed by two fatherless families. 23 What is true to the fact in America?（A）There are more and more mem
17、bers in a family.（B） There are less and less members in a family.（C） There is an increasing number of grandparents who refuse to look after their grandchildren.（D）There is an increasing number of grandparents who live separately from their children. 24 Which of the following is the best title of thi
18、s passage?（A）Family.（B） American Families.（C） Family Types.（D）Four Family Types in America. 24 Key James, Secretary of Health and Human Resources in the Virginia State government, loves to turn the tables on those who dont think its possible to be middle-class, conservative, educated and still be tr
19、uly black. Once, during an abortion debate, a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didnt have a clue about real African American life. “If you understood what these women go through,“ the woman said, “you would realize that abortion is their only choice.“James then as
20、ked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare. She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family.
